Frida Kahlo, a Mexican artist, has made a name for herself in the artistic community as well as internationally. Kahlo has painted a variety of subjects, namely her countless self-portraits. Each of these portraits has a different meaning with equally important purposes.

Through her art, Kahlo illustrates many themes including spirituality, religion, and political ideals.

Some of Kahlo’s paintings are worth a lot of money. For example, The Two Fridas is worth upwards of eight million dollars.
